If you’re looking to create a laid-back, stylish vibe in your home, the boho (or bohemian) aesthetic is one of the best ways to do it. Known for its eclectic charm, a boho-style room is a haven of color, texture, and natural elements.
Whether you’re just starting your boho journey or adding finishing touches, here’s a step-by-step plan to help you create a natural boho living room with key elements like the entertainment centers from Real Cozy.

1. Begin with a Natural Palette
The first step to achieving an authentic boho vibe is establishing a neutral, earthy palette as your foundation. Think soft whites, earthy browns, sandy beiges, and warm terracotta tones. This base brings a natural feel to the space and sets the perfect backdrop for layering different colors and textures. Add pops of muted colors like deep greens, burnt oranges, or soft blues to capture that organic, nature-inspired feeling.
2. Make the Entertainment Center the Focal Point
A boho living room needs a unique focal piece, and The Hartley Entertainment Center by Real Cozy is a perfect choice. This piece captures everything we love about boho decor, with its beautifully rustic wood finish, textures, and open shelving that’s ideal for displaying your treasures. As a functional bohemian TV stand, it combines practicality and personality, blending seamlessly with other boho elements while giving your TV a stylish home.
When styling the Hartley, layer decorative accents on the shelves—think potted plants, vintage books, woven baskets, and small sculptures. These touches add depth and warmth, essential for any boho-inspired look.

3. Incorporate Lots of Natural Textures
Textures are essential; the more natural, the better. Start with a plush, oversized rug that grounds the space. Look for jute, wool, or other woven textures to add that organic feel underfoot. Then, add a few chunky knit throws, layered pillows in soft cotton or linen, and maybe even a macramé wall hanging for a hint of artistry.
Add a small woven basket to hold remotes for your boho TV stand, or place a simple ceramic or terracotta pot filled with lush greenery on one side. These tactile elements bring comfort and help create that “lived-in” warmth boho decor is known for.
4. Go Green with Plants Galore
Plants are a hallmark of any boho-inspired space, adding vibrancy. Select a variety of greenery for your living room: cascading vines like pothos or philodendrons, tall leafy plants like monstera or palms, and maybe a few small succulents.
Position them on and around your bohemian TV stand for an organic, cohesive look. If you’re working with smaller plants, consider clustering them on one side of The Hartley or placing taller plants on stands nearby for varying heights.
5. Embrace Eclectic and Vintage Accents
The boho style loves a mix of vintage and eclectic pieces that bring personality into the room. Incorporate items you’ve collected from travels, flea markets, or thrift stores, like a colorful tapestry, vintage picture frames, a wicker chair, or an antique mirror. These pieces add individuality and warmth, making your boho living room feel uniquely yours.
Consider placing a few collected pieces around your boho TV stand, like a vintage lantern or an old, leather-bound book. They add visual interest and make the entertainment center feel like part of the decor rather than just a functional piece.
6. Finish with Soft, Ambient Lighting
Finally, lighting is essential in creating that cozy atmosphere every boho space needs. Opt for soft, warm lights like table lamps with woven shades, string lights, or floor lamps with unique textures. A Moroccan-inspired lantern or a salt lamp on one of The Hartley’s shelves can add a dreamy glow, creating the perfect ambiance for movie nights or quiet evenings.
